## What it is
Transporter is a Go CLI tool that syncs and transforms data between persistence engines such as MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, MySQL, RethinkDB, and RabbitMQ. It supports configurable source/sink pipelines with optional JavaScript transformations and change-tracking ('tail') for continuous sync. The repository was archived in October 2023 and is no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- sync data from mongodb to postgresql
- migrate data between database engines
- replicate mongodb collections to elasticsearch
- stream database changes to another store
- transform documents while copying between databases
- one-way database replication pipeline

## When to avoid
- you need maintained software with active support
- you rely on adaptors other than mongodb/postgresql on v1.0.0
- you need a managed or distributed ETL platform
